Washburn employs their own ‘antiquing’ process to give the WSJ124K an appearance and feel of a 100 year old guitar. This vintage styled jumbo starts with a spruce top that has been given an antiqued walnut finish. The back and sides are constructed from Trembesi and possesses a similar aesthetic to rosewood and features a prominent grain and a strong texture, dark-brown in color. Other attractive features include rope purfling, and a rosewood butterfly style bridge.

The mahogany neck is carved into a vintage style hard-V shaped profile. Players will love the way the V shape fills out your fretting hand. Finally, a protective Washburn Hardshell case is included.

I played a Martin DRS-1, a couple of Epis', a Masterbilt (waa-a-a-ay overrated, in my opinion) and a J-200. Didn't like any of them, so I moved up the ladder a bit to a Taylor 320 (or maybe a 322) Mahogany, and a Seagull S6 Deluxe.

When I finally strummed the Washburn, it resonated in my diaphragm, and there was truly no doubt in my mind. I had to have it.

Plus, it came with a really sturdy & plush HARD case, not a cheesy gig bag.

Guitar arrived with a strings tuned perfectly to themselves about a few steps low and sounded great. Once tuned to standard pitch, sounded better. Easy to fingerpick, easy to fret and barre, and great to flatpick. Sounds very bright for a dreadnought, and that's not a bad thing. I love the guitar.
